Devil's Son-in-Law Chapter 1186: The 2 Elf Kings

Chapter 1186: The 2 Elf Kings

Askar’s bow stunned all the guards, and what surprised the elves was Askar’s address for Span.
Your Highness?
The male elf who can be called Your Highness… There are only a few legendary ones—Hero King!
I actually reprimanded the Elf King whom even Her Majesty Elf Empress has to respect? Figor was dumbfounded.
“Askar, we met again.” Span patted Askar on the shoulder, “You are about to enter super-level. You should be chief commander now.”
“I will always be a magic swordsman who follows Your Highness!” Askar used to be Span’s sword guard, and Span also taught him his sword skills. He followed Span through the rebellion in the Silver Moon Celestial Capital and went through life and death together. Now when he saw his old boss and also his teacher again, he was very excited.
Span looked around at the elf guards who showed an expression of awe and said to the half-elf, “Although I don’t discriminate against half-elves, you are indeed not eligible to participate in the New Moon Festival. No matter what twists and turns there are in the middle, it is the elf guards’ responsibility to stop you. However, I can give you a chance to explain yourself; only once.”
Although the half-elf was not familiar with the history of the elf tribe, he had also heard the legend of the Elf King and vaguely guessed it. He quickly bowed, “Sir, this Figor made a bet with me before, saying that as long as I win in the arrow shooting, he will let me enter the Silver Moon Celestial Capital. However, after he lost to me, he actually didn’t fulfill his promise and framed me as a spy!”
“Nonsense! I…”
“You can explain, but there is only one chance.” Span said flatly.
Figor was only Demon Emperor-level strength. Although Span did not activate any power, he felt an intangible power. He broke into a cold sweat, “I’m 1 of the top Saint magic archers in the tribe. If it weren’t for that despicable half-elf’s evil plot, how could I suddenly miss it?”
As soon as this sentence came out, Chen Rui knew the incident: This Figor obviously lost the game. Instead of fulfilling his promise, he took revenge instead. In other words, Figor didn’t pay attention to the half-elf at the beginning, but he unexpectedly failed. Therefore, he was ashamed into anger and framed the half-elf as a spy. He wanted to kill him to silence him.
“Hmph! Lose the arrow shooting and lose the character!” Lalaria’s contemptuous voice sounded.
Figor’s neck was red with embarrassment after being condemned in the public, but this ‘little elf girl’ obviously had a special relationship with the Elf King, so he could only suffer in silence.
“This matter is pretty clear.” Span didn’t even look at Figor.
Askar’s face was dull, and he gave Figor a stern look, “After the New Moon Festival is over, go to the military judge to receive the punishment!”
Figor didn’t dare to say more as he bowed his head and stepped back.
Askar then set his eyes on the half-elf, waved his hand, and canceled the imprisonment, “Half-elf, you can leave now. If you have anything, you have to wait until after the New Moon Festival.”
The half-elf clenched his fists, “No! I have a reason to go!”
Askar narrowed his eyes, and a murderous intent spread, “I won’t repeat it a second time! Half-elf! If you don’t leave, I won’t show mercy!”
The blood patterns on the half-elf’s face glowed brightly as his momentum became stronger and stronger. His power had already risen by a small realm. Obviously, he was going to make a desperate fight. Nonetheless, Askar’s strength had reached the level of S++. Even if the half-elf’s strength had been raised to A+, there was no chance of winning.
The half-elf himself should also understand this, but he still didn’t flinch.
“Wait a minute, Sir Askar. Please allow me to ask this half-elf a few words.” Chen Rui walked up.
“You are…” Askar cast a consulting look at Span.
“He… is my relative, and he is fully qualified to ask.” The qualifications mentioned by Span naturally referred to Chen Rui’s status as the ‘Elf King’.
Of course, Askar couldn’t guess that this strange ‘elf’ was another Hero King from the elf tribe. When he heard that he was a relative of Span, he immediately nodded in awe.
“What’s your name?”
“Taylos.”
“I want to know the reason why you insist on entering the Silver Moon Celestial Capital at this time. You should know that it is very inappropriate and unwise to break in at this time.”
Taylos lowered her head and didn’t answer.
“If the reason is worthy of approval, maybe I can help you.” Chen Rui said something again suddenly, which made Askar frown.
The half-elf was startled, looked up, and saw that Chen Rui’s eyes didn’t contain the slightest look of contempt, so he finally said the answer, “Altani, she is getting engaged today, but! She doesn’t love that elf!”
That’s why. Chen Rui showed an understanding look, “The one she loves is you?”
“She was forced by her family, and they even threatened to kill me! Even if I have to die, I must stop this engagement! She can separate from me, and maybe she will find someone who loves her more and is more suitable for her in the future, but I will never allow her to be forced to marry a man she doesn’t love…”
Before the words were finished, some elves laughed.
“Altani is in love with you? How ridiculous!”
“Not only is it ridiculous, it’s insane!”
“Altani is Elder Cheropan’s younger sister, and 1 of the most beautiful flowers in the elf tribe. How could she fall in love with an ugly dark elf like you!”
“…”
“Some things that look beautiful may not be as beautiful as they look.” Chen Rui said lightly, which made the elf guards feel harsh, but because of Span, they didn’t dare to refute.
“Taylos, are you sure of your judgment?”
“I’m sure!”
Chen Rui nodded, “Well then, I also want to see the result of your confidence and courage, but are you willing to pay any price?”
Taylor’s tone was firm, “I do!”
Askar interrupted decisively, “Wait a minute, sir. You can’t bring a dark elf to the New Moon Festival! Even if you are a relative of His Highness! Otherwise, please forgive me…”
Chen Rui smiled lightly. He said in Askar’s mind with the [Analytical Eyes], “I don’t want to embarrass you, loyal sir chief commander. Although you are obviously favoring your own people, as far as I know, according to the elf tribe rules, if he becomes my subordinate, there should be no problem right?”
Since Chen Rui was now an ‘elf’, it was not surprising for Askar who knew this kind of soul language for telepathic communication. He also said to Chen Rui in the same soul language, “Unless you are a Hero King. Otherwise, if he becomes your subordinate, he isn’t qualified to enter. However, even if it is His Highness Span, doing so will be criticized by others. If you are really His Highness Span’s relative, you shouldn’t put him in such a difficult situation…”
Chen Rui didn’t explain. He just took a few steps forward and looked into Askar’s eyes. When Askar was on guard, he suddenly sensed a special kind of breath. This kind of breath was a fresh and pure force of nature. Just looking at it, he felt as if his mind had been washed and his spirit was lifted.
Askar was shocked. This kind of power is actually…
The natural breath became more and more intense. Askar felt like a drop of water that returned to the sea. The feeling was unprecedentedly comfortable and intimate. His whole soul involuntarily showed a strong nostalgia. Askar finally confirmed: The Tree of Nature!
It is really the power of the holy tree!
Although the holy tree was sealed by Span at the time, it had not been completely free from the erosion of evil forces for 20,000 years. Until a few years ago, a human came to the Silver Moon Celestial Capital, destroyed the evil forces, and made the holy tree truly reborn. Under the instruction of Legendary Prophet Alucier, the Tree of Nature is temporarily kept by the human, and this human is also another elf Hero King after Span for 20,000 years!
This elf… no! He is not an elf!
It was agreed before that the holy tree would return to the celestial capital in 2 years, but it might be due to some special reasons that the human did not return as scheduled, so even if we, the elves, don’t say anything, we feel somewhat dissatisfied with Empress Liv and the legendary prophet in our mind. Now, it is finally time to return the Tree of Nature to the arms of Moonlight Goddess!
While excited, the chief commander finally understood why Span said that Chen Rui ‘had this qualification’. Indeed he does!
Without thinking, Askar immediately gave Chen Rui a deep bow. No matter the identity of this sir or the Tree of Nature he owns, he deserves this great bow.
Chen Rui gave Askar a few words in soul language, asking him to report to Empress Liv, but not to disclose the information to others for the time being.
Askar nodded and looked at half-elf Taylos, “You can follow this sir in.”
The elves were shocked again. The chief commander actually allowed the half-elf to enter the celestial capital at the New Moon Festival, and he is so respectful to that strange elf, showing the same courtesy as the Elf King. What is the origin of this elf?
Taylos was also surprised, but he cared more about his lover in the celestial capital. It was definitely a pleasant surprise to be able to bring in by this sir. If he could really ‘save’ his sweetheart, it would be worth repaying and following, so, the half-elf immediately made a vow to follow.
Chen Rui didn’t ask for anything like a contract because he saw that Taylos wasn’t lying. He just wanted to help this half-elf who was chasing love.
“Sirs, I’ll go first.” Askar bowed to Chen Rui and Span, rode on the silver pegasus led by the guards, and flew away.
Knowing that Askar was going to report to Empress Liv, Chen Rui nodded to everyone, “Let’s go too.”
The elves had basically confirmed Span’s identity, and Chen Rui must also be an important person, so they didn’t ask for registration. They all bowed and sent them off.
After passing the checkpoint at the port, some traces of the New Moon Festival could already be seen along the way. Colorful fluorescent lights appeared in the misty woods, and they emitted pleasant music under the breeze. The nearby vines seemed to be alive, dancing to the music. There were many similar landscapes. Even rare, these decorations or landscapes were integrated with nature, which was natural and amazing.
“It’s so beautiful!” Alice had never seen such a scene in the Demon Realm. Her big eyes were full of shining little stars.
Chen Rui nodded. From the perspective of appreciation, the elves are indeed unparalleled artists.
A group of people appeared ahead. Taylos had spent some time in the Jade Forest Sea, so he recognized that they were the royal guard of honor of the elf tribe. The guard of honor played ethereal and elegant music, and some elves danced lightly. This was the highest level of the welcoming ritual.
Behind the royal guard of honor was a beautiful elf who was graceful and generous and wore a crown. It was Elf Empress Liv.
Empress Liv walked up to Span and the others and nodded slightly. Chen Rui and Span returned the etiquette.
“Welcome, 2 Royal Highnesses.” Empress Liv’s voice was moving as usual.
2 Royal Highnesses!
The shocked Taylor finally realized that the elf he temporarily ’followed’ was actually a legendary Hero King!
